Values and Mobilization: Towards the Dynamics of “Sterile Excitement”
Starting with an overview of the ‘tyranny of values’ notion introduced by Carl Schmitt, this article discusses how values are converted into political goals and managed by societies. While both Schmitt and Robert Spaemann emphasized the danger of ‘automatic enactment’ of values, today in a mobilized society the situation aggravates as the differentiation between a policy system based on violence and orders, and a culture system offering common pa…

On the Relevance of The Present State of the Study of Politics (Round Table)
The authors view the main issues raised in Charles Merriam’s article The Present State of the Study of Politics in the context of the current trends in the development of political knowledge in Russia and worldwide. Merriam proposed a new view of Political Science as a scientific discipline with its own research goals related to the empirical study of the political behavior of people. Merriam’s approach to determining the status of Political Scie…
Years After the USSR: No End to History
From the standpoint of world history, the collapse of the Soviet Union is unremarkable. That this event took the world by surprise suggests that political analysts, their attention focused on current affairs, can overlook underlying trends and countertrends that eventually make even dramatic events seem secondary. When trends and countertrends are in equilibrium, they generate an illusion of stability. But in the long run, the possibility of dise…

The Relevance of Simmel’s Sociology
Otthein Rammstedt was an outstanding sociologist who spent most of his life editing Georg Simmel’s Gesamtausgabe, or collected works. Rammstedt gave much of his strength and energy to get this important publication completed. In 1993, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Simmel’s death, we put together a selection of his works and the articles written in his honor which was published in 1994 in the second issue of the Sociological Journal. Ramm…

Sociology of Max Weber in the 21st Century: From Reception to Actualization
It could be called an anniversary issue since one of Weber's famous works will celebrate its centenary immediately after the Review's publication.At the end of January, 1919, Weber delivered his famous speech Politik als Beruf (Politics as a Vocation), which was published in July of the same year.This is a remarkable coincidence, but still, no more than just a coincidence.In the many contributions to our issue (though not in all of them), Weber a…
Sociology and the Problem of Order
Political Nation and Spatial Order: Towards a New Recombination of the Old Concepts
The paper compares opposite approaches to the study of spatial order in contemporary societies. On the one hand, theories of globalization and world society argue that states and their borders are not relevant anymore. Globalization means world without borders, therefore contemporary global cities, being located within state borders, do not belong to their territories. In a global city, there is no room for common solidarity among citizens-those …
Legality and Legitimacy (1958 Edition Afterword)
This is a translation of the afterword of Legality and Legitimacy (1932), rewritten by Carl Schmitt in 1958 for his collection Verfassungsrechtliche Aufsätze aus den Jahren 1924-1954. In the afterword, Schmitt once again describes the situation in Germany in the early 1930’s, and argues against the influential German lawyers who rejected his interpretation of the Weimar Constitution. He rejects the wide-spread opinion that he wanted a state of em…
The other 'Hobbes' people: An alternative reading of Hobbes
This paper argues that while Hobbes has been very influential in sociological thinking, in particular through the influence of Ferdinand Tönnies and Talcott Parsons, there is an important alternative reading of Hobbes that one might call the 'real' Hobbes, which has remained unknown to social theory. Because these classical readings of Hobbes still inform most social theory, sociologists are in effect trapped within them. Through a careful analys…
A Rapidly Changing Reality
The Nature of the World order and Crisis through the eyes of leading experts in International Relations Q uantity has transformed into quality. Deformations and tensions in the world order, which have matured latently for years, if not decades, have come to light. The nature of changes in the modern world is yet to be comprehended. Not surprisingly, it is difficult to get rid of the Cold War inertial thinking and the temptation to find parallels …
Der Raum der Systeme und die großen Reiche
Die folgenden Überlegungen werden absichtlich theoretisch-abstrakt durchgeführt. Es geht zuerst um die Schwierigkeiten, mit der Systemtheorie, wie sie von Niklas Luhmann konzipiert ist, das Räumliche des Sozialen zu erfassen. Aber das Problem, das im Hintergrund dieses Beitrages steckt, ist weder theoretisch noch abstrakt. Den eigentlichen Bezugspunkt macht hier ein Sachverhalt aus, der in seiner politischen Aktualität relativ wenig theoretisches…
A Final Look Back at Soviet Sociology
Soviet sociology must be understood against the background of the Soviet empire which provided its frame of reference as well as most of its substantive topics of enquiry. Sociology in the USSR benefitted from the weakening of totalitarian control in the 1980s. It became possible to develop and express ideas with relative freedom, i.e., controlled by the state in order to halt the rapid dissolution of the ecological and social fabric. Sociologist…
